That's what my neighabor does. Came in handy when I lost a switch recently. I like the idea of open wireless to a firewall theat requires manual ssh or https cgi auth to turn on masq for the wireless host, and removes the rule when the host goes away. But my first go at it will be openvpn based, the wireless router assigns a gw on the other side of an openvpn connection, when the client gets wireless, he must then establish openvpn to reach the gw. There's a routing problem there which I've not quite worked out (maybe just IP forwarding on the WAP) and I'd like to get (only) enough dns in there to reach the openvpn, but that's pretty much what I want it to do. Nice thing about open vpn is it's client OS nutural. // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator Linux BSD IXOYE http://galis.org/george/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
